I think he signed the nation’s first no-fault divorce law in CA, 1969-70. He said he really regretted it, and the effect was not what he intended. I think it eventually had a lot to do with many accepting state recognized ‘gay marriage.’ After all, to many it’s just a state contract that can be broken and resumed as long as the state gives its permission.

I don’t think he would have been for ‘gay marriage’, maybe civil unions if the were truly open to all instead of only certain people. I really can’t see him buying any ‘civil right’ type angle on it in any case.

Well, that’s not quite as stalwart as your original post. You say he “regretted” the CA no-fault divorce law, but what it may have become I don’t think can be “blamed” on him, or his lack of original foresight.

I’ve got bones to pick with Reagan, but for the “unintended consequences” this isn’t really one of them.

Freegards to you by all means....
